Published in Professional Photographer Magazine: The Story of Noelle's Candy Heart Photo

Nov 4 2024 | By: Joan & Randy Walker, The PAWtographers

We are thrilled to announce that our image of Noelle, one of our cherished Havanese, has been featured in the November 2024 issue of Professional Photographer Magazine in a full-page ad for PPA鈥檚 pet photography resources! This magazine has an international reach with over 30,000 readers, and we鈥檙e honored to see our work represented on such a prestigious platform.

The Story Behind the Image

Creating this image was a true team effort! Joan photographed the image, designed and hot-glued each candy heart onto a foam board, and used Photoshop to craft custom heart sayings, all with a dog鈥檚 love in mind. Each phrase was chosen to reflect the sweet, playful language we use with our beloved dogs, adding a unique and personal touch to every heart.

But capturing Noelle鈥檚 perfect pose wasn鈥檛 as simple as it may look. That鈥檚 where Randy鈥檚 expert dog-handling skills came in! Convincing a Havanese to poke her nose through a board filled with hot-glued candy hearts was no small feat, requiring patience, skill, and a few high-value treats. Together, they managed to capture Noelle鈥檚 curious and adorable expression, creating the illusion of her nestled in a sea of love.

See How It Was Made

For a behind-the-scenes look at how this image (and a companion shot with Choco) came to life, check out our blog post: The Candy Heart Project. This project was as challenging as it was rewarding, and we鈥檙e so excited to share it with our community.

We are proud to celebrate this achievement with our clients and fellow dog lovers. Being published in Professional Photographer Magazine is a huge honor, and it fuels our passion for creating exceptional, custom dog portraits.
